Great service, super friendly! Would definitely come again, such a nice atmosphere and welcoming space

Fantastic service, friendly staff, welcoming and lovely atmosphere

Not our first time but always a pleasure. Really nice burgers! And beers even better ofc. Shane was the one in charge today, and it was great service. Thank you and see you soon!

Service was amazing. Very efficient and accommodating. Very entertaining for the children, lots of games and colouring to keep them occupied. The staff were kind and happy to help. The atmosphere was brilliant, great music - good vibes. Thank you so much Daniella.

Great burgers, a wide variety of beers and the best service. I will definitely come back

Great food and atmosphere- staff very friendly!

Great service, great ciders! Love it!

Had a great Sunday evening here, thanks to George for his extensive knowledge and hospitality. Definitely be back if ever here!

George was amazing had great banter and knows his drinks ;)

Best place to have a drink in Watford. Selection and quality of beers is outstanding. Great decor and styling. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Stopped by for a cocktail. Waited 20 minutes for them to figure out how to make it. They then brought over the wrong ones.

Venture into the heart of local craftmanship at Mad Squirrel. With its roots firmly planted in the community, Mad Squirrel has mastered the art of crafting both exceptional brews and mouthwatering dishes. The lunchtime deal is a steal, offering unbeatable value without compromising on quality. Each bite is a testament to the premium ingredients used, showcasing the dedication to excellence. From first sip to last bite, the flavors speak volumes, leaving no doubt about the commitment to taste and authenticity.

Popped in here for a drink and light lunch and the food was fantastic and service from the staff was 10/10 I had the smash burger with fries and my partner chicken ceaser salad which was delicious, will be coming here again without doubt

Amazing selection of craft beer as well as great entertainment with weekly live music. Also had a snippet of their new menu launching on Friday and I’m super impressed and can’t wait to try more!

Popped in this morning to grab myself a quick can, was sold this Simple can. The thing went out of date in September and was still on the shelves, the place hasn't even been open that long so how it ended up on the shelf I have no clue. Genuinely dreadful, over fermented itself in the can and you could taste the pure alcohol in the drink. Making this accident is so easily avoided, just requires some care into the stock...

Popped in for some dinner and they had a great band playing on a Saturday afternoon. Had some fab food, with good vegan options for those in the group with that requirement. Vegan cheese pizza and the vegan Cauli wings where lovely. Great beer too.

Very nice pub with lots of craft beers. Beer menu keeps changing so there is always something new to try 😉

Such a nice place to drink. Plenty of seats inside and outside but I visit it at the time when there was a match in Watford and it was full packed. Drinks are not bad. Mad Squirrel is brewing not bad variety. Been there for a drink and ending up with 4. One thing didn’t like is just 2 people serving behind the bar when there was a long queues. Situated in high street is not bad.

Just love the Mad Squirrel on match days, happy to serve both home and away fans who mix very sociabaly. Pizzas are excellent and can always get a pint of bitter - with lots of craft beers available too. Staff work very hard on match days, they really earn their wages!

Great range of beers, but not cheap. Friendly/ helpful staff.

Beautiful food beautiful staff . Excellent service and food . Best service I ever had for 17 years . I could give 1000 stars but aloud only 5. Thank you so so much for this beautiful experience . I will tell all my family and friends to come here . Awesome

Great drinks if you like beer or gin Food is nice

Just following the live music. Fantastic night.

Great range of beers and nice pre-match atmosphere

Lovely place to have a drink. It's not much of a food place in my opinion. It's more of a bar. However you do get a few dishes and some pizza and they are quite good. Beer is great which is the reason we go there. Staff is very friendly Would recommend to all!!

Great selection of beers, very good vibe on a Saturday pre-match.

Great beer , great choice of styles as well. Food was ok, I had the chicken wings which were just ok. My friends pizza looked great though.

Great vibes, Plenty of beer choices and great food

Lovely beer! Friendly, helpful staff. The only issue was the music was a bit loud for us - it was hard to have a conversation.

Definitely a place for trendy people who like craft beer and different cask ale. There are wines, cans of drinks and a menu which includes pizzas to mop up your drink 🍻

Cracking selection of beautiful beers. Lad behind the bar had great chat and was very polite. The place was a wee bit quiet but this was a Wednesday evening so completely forgiven.

Great beer buy not much atmosphere

Disappointing to be served a duff pint of Mr Squirrel. Shame someone else got served a duff pint. Disappointing that I pointed it out as soon as it was pulled, but told it would settle. Disappointing that a bar that is all about beer did this.

A great place to sample some craft beers. Staff are friendly and can discuss the beer, I loved the double truffle but it will most likely be discontinued due to the rise in uk taxes on beer 😕

Best bar in Watford and my favourite of the Squirrel bar. Huge range of beers on tap and delicious pizza’s and loaded fries. Thursday quiz is always a good entertaining evening to go too. Awesome staff and the Manager Tom is a great guy and quiz master.

I mean...it just does smell slightly of wee, which is a real shame as the staff were lovely. But the wee is unmistakeable

Great place, amazing selection of beers, friendly staff and delicious food.

Top gaff if you like proper beer .Good price as well .main man is a red as well..

Loved finding a brewery in Watford. Friendly staff, welcoming, great beer selection, food was excellent! Wood fired pizzas, etc!

Lovely atmosphere, great craft beers! Second visit and will definitely be back.

I have supported mad squirrel for years and on my latest visit was told only card no more cash. On questioning the bar staff they were very offish with me. Cash is legal tender, come on mad squirrel your a pub act like one.

Watford's best beer bar. With many Mad Squirrel and guest beers on tap you can easily find your new favourite brew here. Seems quite lively Friday/Saturdays. Might be worth checking their listings however as one week it was a live band and very busy and another it was a bingo/Karaoke Drag night. The latter which despite only having the interest of about 20 people essentially took over the whole place with the noise. Not for me that one. That being said, each to their own and all that.

Pub quiz was great fun with something for everyone. Great beer selection and friendly staff. Enjoyed a vegan pizza with chips.

Great venue for some good craft beers. The food is equally as good. No frills pizzas, nachos and wings. Staff are helpful and friendly

Met a long lost pal there before football. Very busy but efficient. Enjoyed the beer and the atmosphere. Didn't eat.

Visited twice and each time, they've had some entertainment on (live music or TV event) which is good. Spacious bar too. There is a wide variety of beers available but be warned: they're not all delicious! Even those with broad palates will struggle. Have not tried the food.

Busy but good quick service and good choice of ale,lagers and ciders

Realy nice place Dog (and cat) frendly

Ales dissapointing lacked flavour.

Perfect!!! very good address. beers are very good, the food too. very kind and helpful staff. great place.

Nice selection of beers and ciders!

Good atmosphere with friendly stsff and solid selection of beers, wines, spirits and food! Good to have a place like this in Watford!

Nice bar, good range of craft beverages. Free table tennis is a nice touch.

Lots of space and awesome craft beers available. Food is well priced and it is lovely! Would recommend.

Huge selection of beers on tap, the manager is really friendly. As I haven’t got a clue about beer or what I wanted to choose he gives you a small taster before you buy it which helps. Pizzas are great. Meat Feast at £15 Nachos were about £9 Offered great service to someone in our group who requested gluten free pizza due to being coeliac. Putting the person at ease! Perfect service.

Good choice of drink, nice food, hot dogs and pizza but no burgers. Friendly service

Great place and brilliant choice of beers

Big upgrade on watford's beer offer

Great staff great beers and fantastic live band

Such a nice new place which was sorely needed in Watford. They have a really nice beer selection and some good looking food. The staff were so friendly and chatty and the vibe was excellent, even though we arrived early evening on a very quiet Thursday. Will definitely be back!

Great selection of beers and nice pizza, could do without the football though, there are plenty of other pubs for that

Great bar good beers and good music Live music today superb 😃 Best bar In Watford

Am sorry I have not visited earlier. A good range of interesting beers to suit any taste. I came in for 1 drink but stayed for 3. Very friendly staff and will certainly make it a venue In watford in the future. I had walked past in the past and walked past for a very obvious reason and why I have not scored it as a 5. I rarely go into an establishment that discourages someone my ancient age by having very high stools and high tables. I know my wife would refuse to come in with me as no way could she sit comfortably. So it will be ony own to sample their brews- but standing up!!!

great selection of beers, very friendly staff, will definitely visit again!

Very good beer selection, as you'd expect. Very friendly and welcoming. We will return.

Nice bar, great selection of beer. Something to suit everyone's tastes and also getting very popular.

Great range of beers. Good seating. Clean individual toilets

Very good and "interesting" beers. You can order 1/3 of the pint, so you can try several, from a wide variety of beers. Average pizza, friendly staff. The place is a bit impersonal.

I was so excited to try this place. Started off lovely. Bartender was great and had good beer recommendations. We also ordered a pizza. 30 mins later, he came and told us the pizza dough was rubbish and he would need to make more dough. No problem…we will have more drinks. 30 more mins pass and he came back and told us it was taking a long time and did we want some wings or fries basket. I said no need bc we wanted the pizza and I wasn’t that hungry for both. 15-30 mins later he came back and said are you sure I can’t get you something while you wait like the fries basket and we said fine. 45 min-Hour later I go to the bar to get another drink and ask about the pizza and he tells me they don’t have flour so there can be no pizza. He said half off anything else tho. We order a hot dog. Hot dog £3(£6 half off). When asked about the £13 we paid for the pizza, we were told that we had the other fried stuff so no refund on the pizza. Paid for the hot dog. We had several half pints and paid each time full price. Didn’t want the fried stuff but thought he was offering a snack while we waited forever for our pizza so agreed. We were there for 3 hours and I’m sad we had to leave with such a bad feeling. I even tipped the bartenders(who were apparently also the cooks) £6.50 before this all went down. I feel cheated. Be sure not to accept anything even if you think it’s a courtesy bc they are at fault for delay/not having what you ordered

This is a very nice venue, we visited on a Tuesday night the week before Christmas, it wasn't very busy but that didn't detract from the experience. They have a wide selection on tap to choose from that covers most pallets and prices and the bar staff are all very pleasant and helpful. They also do rather excellent pizzas that are super thin and crispy, highly recommended....

A fairly new addition to the bar scene in Watford run by the Mad Squirrel brewery. They have a comprehensive selection of all their ales and beers plus they have other drinks too. They also have a food offering with a large pizza oven but I have not tried anything so really cannot comment on the quality. There is seating outside at the front for those who smoke. Loos are upstairs and very clean.

No idiots in the pub, win-win, a place for adults who have a few quid to spend... No kids, and by that I mean over 30's predominantly.

Great place for beer lovers! A range of different beers ranging from IPAs , larger , stouts , plenty to choose from!!

Good selection of beer, great place to come if you are into craft. Good atmosphere, well designed pub and warm on a cold day. Takeaway beer from the fridge is also a good touch. Will be going again.

This great micro pub had 3 mad squirrel Hand pumped ales on when I visited here on Friday 2nd December 2022 This friendly bohemian bar is a must to visit to my mind for interesting real ale when in Watford

Bar staff so friendly and helpful which enhanced our experience, well done guys 👍

Cool bar, with loads of craft beers

Excellent food, amazing massive selection of beers, and Zuzu’s service was unmatched. Made us feel valued all night and offered great tips!!

A+..First visit definitely not my last... I would highly recommend. It was a pleasure meeting Jack, a knowledgeable expert. Excellent beers available here, well worth a visit!!

Excellent selection. In particular 1/3 glass great

A large and well fitted tap room far larger and grander than their Chesham outlet that I am familiar with. Staff were friendly and efficient. Good variety of their Beers, thoroughly enjoyable.

Great addition to the Watford social scene. At last some decent beers. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Great choice of beer - mostly Mad Squirrel but some guest beers too, with a wide range of styles (lagers, pales, bitters, IPAs, stouts etc). 3 cask beers and 20 or so kegs. There are plenty of non-beer options, too. The bar itself is bright and modern. Friendly staff. The food is also pretty good.

Great tap room. Good bar food snackey and pickey type. pizza oven on site. Great selection of beer and wine. Chicken wings are a good size and plenty of flavour

Great atmosphere, great beer, sadly pizzas were rubbish. Meat feast with undectable meat. Octoberfest pizza with unknown toppings and some funny squirty stuff on top. A real let down.

Great food and excellent selection of beers, IPA's, ales, stouts and ciders

Very good food and lovely people 😊😊 I like it

Great pizza and chips, wide range of home brewed beers, nice service. It used to be more cosy and rendezvous place than it's now.

Very knowledgeable, friendly, professional staff. Good selection. Needs more support!

Really nice place good pizza and huge selection of beers 🍻, which slightly pricey

Great service and the chicken wings were delicious.

Great selection of beers and pale ales, it's well furnished and also serves food. They have an outdoor patio area and it's spacious inside

Great beers. Great pizza. Great atmosphere.

Fantastic atmosphere, there’s a real buzz about the place.

Best place in Watford to spend your honey! Great beers and very friendly and knowledgeable staff! Can see it becoming a new hive for Watford craft beer fans.

Great location central to the town. A really good selection of bees and the staff are very friendly. About time good beer in Watford.
